Charge issues
Posted: Tue Jun 21, 2016 5:42 am
So how's it going guys!
So let's say it's Monday night, I'm driving with the lights on and come up to a red light , I stop and on idle with my foot off the brakes and my headlights and dash start to dim, I'll give it a lil rev up and everything comes back to norm,. I idle at about 1k and with the lights on and foot on brake it drops to about 850 and everything dims,.
So what's up with that could it be a faulty V-regulator or just low power my new alternator puts out?
Also I've gone through so many batteries that auto zone won't replace the next one I have a yellow top optima alternators brand spanking new and clean no oil or gunk messing with the charge,. If I drive the car daily it keeps it's charge but after a week it's dead?
I tested for a parasitic drain by pulling fuses at a time but came out clean and right now I'm just clueless with all this any ideas?
